For those who advance serfdom over citizenship

First, we had the Gang of Eight in the senate, including four republicans (Rubio, McCain, Graham and Flake), working up an immigration reform bill. The senate voted on this bill, which does not secure the boarder before offering legal status to illegals. 14 republicans voted in favor of this bill along with every democrat. You know there’s something wrong with the bill when it’s over 1,000 pages, every democrat supports it and the ICE union president is against it. We are used to liberal republicans like Collins of Maine voting with the democrats, but Marco Rubio?

In an October 24, 2010 Florida Senate debate with Charlie Crist, Rubio said “‘Earned path to citizenship’ is basically code for amnesty,” “It is unfair to the people that have legally entered this country to create an alternative pathway for individuals who entered illegally and knowingly did so.”

Fast forward to June 2013. “This amendment basically now puts into place virtually everything people have been asking me to do about immigration enforcement since I began talking about this issue,” Rubio told a convention of the American Society of News Editors. “I think we’ve run out of things we can to do to support – to improve the border.”

So the Corker/Hoeven amendment replaced the entire text of the original bill. The amendment was presented late Friday and by Monday morning they voted, including many republicans, to end debate on it. I find it hard to believe any senator, nor their staff, had time to read and comprehend all 1,000+ pages before the vote. On Thursday afternoon, the full senate approved the bill 68-32. 14 republicans voted in favor. I call these 14 republicans the “Benedict Arnold Gang of 14”.

Boston, MA – Mitt Romney today announced the support of Tea Party leaders in Michigan.

“In my campaign, I have fought for the conservative principles of lower spending, lower taxes and less government intrusion into our lives and our businesses,” said Mitt Romney. “The Tea Party has been at the frontline of this same fight. Along with the help of these Tea Party leaders, we can defeat President Obama and finally get Washington out of the way.”

Maribeth Schmidt, Co-Founder Of Rattle With Us: “As a mother of three and a Tea Party activist, my main concern is the 15 trillion dollar debt and I believe that Governor Romney has it right when he says that he will look at every government program and ask two questions: ‘Can we afford it?’ and if not, ‘Is it important enough to borrow money from China for?’ His positions on the national debt, Right to Work, domestic energy, and reducing the wages of government employees to match the private sector are why I am supporting him in Tuesday’s primary.”

Dennis Moore, Founder/Former Director (resigned over heat for endorsement)–Willow Run Tea Party Caucus: “Leaders lead without putting a wetted finger in the air seeking consensus. Mitt Romney will be a ‘Reaganesque’ president. I could not in good conscience watch as the Tea Party invokes a litmus test that Ronald Reagan himself would have failed. So I led by personally endorsing Mitt Romney. This country needs Mitt Romney!”

Leisa Audette And Patty McMurray, Red Heels On The Ground: “We are two stay-at-home moms who are very active in the Tea Party and grassroots movement in Michigan. We are dedicated to ensuring that our children will have the same opportunities that our generation was afforded. Unless the right candidate is elected in the upcoming Presidential race, they will never have that privilege. We’ve burdened them with a national debt and tax structure that only a serious candidate with exceptional business experience and proven successes will be able to turn around. We need a president that will not divide us but instead, unite us with our common belief in American exceptionalism. We believe that Mitt Romney is the only candidate who has the ability to accomplish all of these things, because we feel that he sincerely believes in the greatness of America!”

Rose Drouillard, Brighton Tea Party Board Member: “Prior to the Romney Tea Party event last night at Bakers in Milford, I was vacillating between two candidates. After a day of careful consideration of Gov. Romney’s presentation, I am personally endorsing Governor Mitt Romney for President because I believe he is the candidate that has the best chance to defeat President Obama. If he follows through with everything that he spoke about in his presentation, our country will be able to change course and be the exceptional nation we once were.”

Marco Lollio, Owner Of Marlo [Mar-Lo] Trucking: “Governor Romney addressed many of the concerns small businesses are experiencing under the current administration. It would be a positive change to have someone as President who knows what it takes to not only create jobs but also keep the ones I have! His words strengthened my belief that he understands that the next president’s top priority is creating jobs!”

Should these Michigan Faux TEA Party leaders jointly receive the Benedict Arnold Award?

A traitor to everything: her constituency, her church, her family, her country and its constitution, the taxpayers, and herself. Mother of 5 unaborted children, the self-described role model for aspiring, young females, who sold herself to the good people of Erie as a Catholic pro-life Democrat, revealed her treacherous, skunky stripe when she, along with previous award winner Stupak and other, as yet unindicted, co-conspirators sold their souls to the Dark One, in exchange for favorable treatment and privilege, and (more…)

This nominee is placing his personal interpretation of the Constitution above that of his constituency who are the sovereign of the nation. Hundreds of people recently protested his choice to NOT challenge the new healthcare law.

This man is one of the few that believed all of the roses and fluff promised by the healthcare promoting media. Reality set in when AT&T as well as other companies complied with the SEC requirements to inform their shareholders of increased cost/reduced profit due to Obamacare. Rep Waxman is using his incompetence to blame what’s left of the free market for not toeing the line on this Historic Law.

Guam island remarks: During a House Armed Services Committee hearing in March 2010 concerning the U.S. military installation on the island of Guam, Johnson said to Admiral Robert F. Willard, Commander of U.S. Pacific Command, “My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize.” to which Admiral Willard replied, “We don’t anticipate that.”

Georgia lawmakers reacted to Wednesday’s news that their Attorney General, Democrat Thurbert Baker, would not sign on to a multi-state lawsuit to block the health care bill in his state by filing papers to have him impeached.

On April 28, 2009, Specter announced that, after 44 years as an elected Republican, he was returning to the Democratic Party, citing that he was increasingly “at odds with the (current) Republican philosophy and indicated that polling showed that it would be difficult for him to win the 2010 Republican senatorial primary against Pat Toomey.” Since switching parties, Specter’s voting record has become more center-left.
